In the mid-1980s when we set out to write the first edition of The Geography of Travel and Tourism, we were pioneering new territory, following in the footsteps of a very small band of geographers who had discovered tourism as a field of research. Since then the territory has been well and truly explored by a host of authors writ-ing textbooks, reports and papers for specialist journals. Yet at the same time the focus on tourism is becoming narrower, with most authors specialising in ever-smaller areas of the discipline, and with very few geographers taking a comprehen-sive approach to travel and tourism.
